Last Days (winner of the British Fantasy Award for Best Horror Novel of the Year) by Adam Nevill is a Blair Witch style novel in which a documentary film-maker undertakes the investigation of a dangerous cult―with creepy consequences When guerrilla documentary maker, Kyle Freeman, is asked to shoot a film on the notorious cult known as the Temple of the Last Days, it appears his prayers have been answered. The cult became a worldwide phenomenon in 1975 when there was a massacre including the death of its infamous leader, Sister Katherine. Kyle's brief is to explore the paranormal myths surrounding an organization that became a testament to paranoia, murderous rage, and occult rituals. The shoot's locations take him to the cult's first temple in London, an abandoned farm in France, and a derelict copper mine in the Arizonan desert where The Temple of the Last Days met its bloody end. But when he interviews those involved in the case, those who haven't broken silence in decades, a series of uncanny events plague the shoots. Troubling out-of-body experiences, nocturnal visitations, the sudden demise of their interviewees and the discovery of ghastly artifacts in their room make Kyle question what exactly it is the cult managed to awaken – and what is its interest in him? Horror fans will revel in this appropriately chilling tale of modern-day murder and mayhem that stretches back several centuries. When financially strapped documentarian Kyle Freeman is offered a huge fee to make a film about the Temple of the Last Days, a warped, paranoid cult whose members ended their own days in a bloodbath in an abandoned mine in Arizona, he jumps at the opportunity. As he moves about several countries in search of authentic locations, credible interviews, and the appalling truths behind the myth of the cult, he himself begins to experience some shocking, otherworldly events. Becoming a subject of his own research and filming, Freeman sees his nightmarish journey deepen the further he delves into the twisted history of the cult and its participants. This appropriately ghastly tale definitely lives up to its billing as a Blair Witch Project–style novel. --Margaret Flanagan “Fans of films about haunted places, otherworldly beings, and rituals gone terribly wrong will find this homage deliciously chilling.” ― Publishers Weekly “Obsession and megalomania, sex and power make for a sophisticated, literate and well-crafted paranormal horror.” ― Kirkus Reviews “This exceptional macabre tale stuns in its ability to inspire abject, primal terror. Readers will lose all hope of undisturbed, peaceful sleep. Highly recommended.” ― Library Journal (starred review) Adam Nevill  (aka Adam L. G.

Ufologists and mediums were the same.But even though Solomon's eyes hardened, the small tanned face of the CEO of Revelation Productions retained its default setting of being vaguely amused. With Kyle. Or maybe with everyone in the world except himself. The permanent half-smile was either convivial or mocking. It was hard to tell which with these people : the successful, the owners of things, the commissioners and controllers he'd dealt with as a film-maker.'Yes,' Kyle said, and then his mind snatched at what he did know about Sister Katherine and The Temple of the Last Days. Fragments resembling instamatic polaroid photos: sun-bleached flashes of a scruffy, bearded man in handcuffs, walking from a police car and into a municipal building;aerial footage of what might have been a ranch or a farm in ... California? Snippets of imagery from something about the cult he'd seen on telly a long time ago. A documentary, or was it news footage?He wasn't sure of the source of the impressions, but they were glimpses of things that suggested a notoriety that had evolved into the noir and the cultish. He knew that much; the group was pe
